There is one thing that annoys me. I don't recall what version it started, but about 6 months ago I think, Abiword suddenly did not display the images in some documents. For example:

/usr/share/examples/testdoc.doc

I haven't reported it, assumed that it would be noticed and fixed. But no, not yet.

Can this version open .docx files?
Thank you

Posted on 21 Jun 2010, 21:34 by technosauruslibwvIf my memory serves me correctly the error comes from newer versions of libwv (perhaps it is the way wv is compiled?... I never figured it out, but the old version at least does images) - abiword is probably the only default program that needs wv (unrelated to wvdial) so it should be safe to revert to the older version from pup431.

Version 1.2.5 is the last version that works, so I installed that and recompiled Abiword (necessary).

I use quirky retro versions, almost since the appeareance of abiword problem, i think, I have noticed also the following:
Boot the last quirky 1.2 retro, open Gnumeric and create a new spreadsheet (.xls o .gnumeric), it can be empty, and save it in the hard disk (ext2, reiser partition). Close gnumeric and open it again, go to file/open and open just created document: It will be imposible to write in any cell; typed numbers will appear in formula's bar, but not inside de cells.
But if you open rox-filer and open the spreadsheet from it, it will open normally. (after quirky1.2retro HD full install the problem dissapears)
Sorry again, and Thank you BK and team.

Is this an oversight or is there a reason for 7?
